Not too close Gordon. The spider and it's funnel web were at the base of my oak tree. The spider smaller than a quarter, the other spider was a harmless orb spider in my back yard as well. Portrait was converted to raster layer, pasted the spider pictures on top and erased where my face is showing. The gauze is the spider's web.
